Box-Office Wrap-Up: Apr. 18 – Apr. 20, 2008
The Oracle comes up short because everyone in the country hates him.
That's three in a row incorrect. What do I win? This time I got beaten by an average kiddie flick, a Kung-Fu one at that. What gives people? Was it the rated R thing?
#1 movie predicted correctly: 0 Week In A Row
I wasn't that far off, was I? What's 1.3m between friends? I don't know why people did this to themselves.
Result: 20.8 million (My rank: #2, $1.3m off)
Now this one I'm off on, I'll give you that. It received glowing reviews but I think the lack of Seth Rogen hurt it. That's weird to say, isn't it?
Result: 17.3 million (My rank: #1, $4.3m off)
3. Prom Night
You're staying strong Prom Night! I knew you could, I just knew it. I didn't predict it… but I knew it.
Result: 9.1 million (My rank: #4, $.8m off)
4. 88 Minutes
Oh paddy-wack. This was murdered and destroyed by an uncaring American public. Kudos people, you did it up right on this one.
Result: 6.8 million (My rank: #3, $4.2m off)
5. Nim's Island
Yeeps. Am I going to get any of these right? This is my own personal Waterloo.
Result: 5.6 million (My rank: #6, $.3m off)
6. 21
I think what happened here was I inversed all the choices. Is that possible? I've already told you about that song from 21 so I have no more anecdotes available here.
Result: 5.5 million (My rank: #5, $1.0m off)
7. Street Kings
I got one right! Keanu bailed me out. I knew I loved that guy for a reason. Ever since Point Break we've had a thing going on.
Result: 4.0 million (My rank: #7, $1.8m off)
And another one! Pandemonium! So who you got in the Spurs-Suns series? I'm taking the Suns but I know I'm down 0-1. Could be another bad prediction. Be on the lookout.
Result: 3.5 million (My rank: #8, $0.3m off)
Funny story: I didn't even know this was coming out until the theater counts were released. You see, the place I get my info from didn't have this one listed until after Oracle came out. I won't name that place, I don't want them getting bad press… but they screwed us all this weekend.
Result: 3.1 million (My rank: Not Ranked)
10. Leatherheads
You guys watching 30 Rock this year? It's still pretty good. I don't remember missing TV when it was gone… but now that it's back it's like an old friend returned. If I had any of those I mean.
Result: 3.0 million (My rank: #9, $.1m off)
